Sailor Moon:
                              Seven Knights
                              *************
 
                              Introduction





	The universe is a very dangerous place.  Sometimes, though, the 
real danger comes from outside.

	Sailor Moon has become a legend.  With her group of Sailor 
Scouts, the so called warriors for love and justice, she has saved the 
planet Earth from destruction and suffering on many occasions.  Bearer 
of the Silver Crystal, she has the power to purify the evil from the 
hearts and minds of the cosmos.  

	Her guardians include Sailor Mercury, a holder of strategy and 
knowledge that specializes in fighting smart to win.  Sailor Mars is an 
entity of fire and passion who's Shinto training aides in stopping even 
the worst of evils.  Sailor Jupiter commands the thunder and earth in 
unison with her raw strength and determination.  And Sailor Venus, a 
natural leader with the powers of light and energy.

	More mysterious are the Outer Scouts.  A group of the most 
powerful and experienced protectors of the Solar System.  Sailor Pluto 
leads them.  The oldest and wisest of them all, she guards Time with 
her amazing powers over life and death.  Sailor Uranus controls a 
mystical sword and the awesome destruction caused by an earthquake, 
while her counterpart, Sailor Neptune calls upon water and the weakness 
of her opponents to aid the Scouts.  Sailor Saturn wields power rivaled 
by few others and is only bound by the need to destroy a threat, thus 
making her much more than a bluff card.

	In the final battle, however, the Sailor Scouts were unable to 
prevent an alien race from freezing the planet under a layer of 
indestructible ice.  Powers weakened by the one known only as Tumbler, 
and all help from their friends The Omega Web inaccessible because of 
the growing cold stasis, Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts were forced 
to turn the Earth over to the ice for one thousand years.

	The Great Darkness, as it was known, passed quickly, however, and 
few suffered ill effects from it's happening.  Sailor Moon's ultimate 
weapon, the Silver Crystal, had melted the ice away at long last.  

	Now, the war becomes one on two fronts.  Forces desiring revenge 
or destiny converge on the Earth, knowing at this strange time of 
reemerging magic, anything is possible.
	But the Sailor Scouts must also battle themselves.  The old ways 
have melted away with the Great Darkness, and in order to have any hope 
of saving the human race, they must learn.  Evolve.  

	Not alone in their quest for peace and utopia, the Scouts are 
joined by their overseas counterparts once more.  Strike Fiss, a master 
of the sword and a guardian of the just leads them against the forces 
of chaos.  Prince Destiny is a warrior of raw energy, heir to the star 
Sol and guardian of all her planets and powers.  Sailor Hooze, a young 
but powerful warrior who helps guard Time itself from harm.  Miharu, 
the adopted daughter of Strike Fiss and Sailor Mars, is also an adept 
fighter with a sword, and aspires to be even more.  Demeter, a shape-
changing intelligent and honorable being made from glass.  Finally, 
Beavis the Hedgehog, a former guardian of the Universe, who's powers 
are as unknown as his origins.




	As the Great Darkness lifts it's heavy cloak from our planet, and 
we emerge into an uncertain future, these warriors may be the only 
thing that stand between us

					And extinction.

Disclaimer and Information

Sailor Moon and all characters derived from the manga or anime series 
are property of whoever's shelling out the money to Naoko Takeuchi 
right now for her excellent work.  Sailor Moon: Seven Knights, and the 
previous series of stories, Sailor Moon: Alternate Reality, are 
classified as "fan-fiction", and are within all legal rights and 
privileges.  No money is being made from this literature, and is done 
by a humble fan.  Any companies, products or real-life people mentioned 
in these stories are done so without permission, but care has been 
taken not to tread on anything that a lawyer would sue me for.  Just 
enjoy!  It's just old fashion story-telling!


Rating
--------------------------
Unless specifically warned about, the Sailor Moon SK series is rated 
"R".  That means anyone can read it, but many will blush and have 
nightmares.  The worse of these two will be caused by the brutal, 
graphic violence plastered throughout the stories, and may startle 
younger readers.  Swearing and sex is kept to movie levels.  There is a 
lot of bad words, but no more than in the average Arnold Schwarzenegger 
action movie.  Sex is implied, though not graphic. (mostly) So parents 
be warned when your 9 year old Sailor Moon fan finishes reading this 
and asks you what certain scenes are all about.  Nudity doesn't really 
count unless I get REALLY good at drawing in ASCII text.  He he.
Parents and older siblings should read over the story and judge if it 
is acceptable for younger fans.  I will not be emotionally hurt if you 
have to go through the story replacing all the `fuck's with `damn's.  
Most word processors will do that for you with the click of a button.


Timeline
-----------
Sailor Moon SK, takes place after Sailor Moon AR.  (amazing co-
incidence, is it not?)  This is roughly the year 3000 A.D. after the 
Great Darkness.  Although this tops any of the Sailor Moon series, 
Manga or movies, it is still about half a century or so before "Crystal 
Tokyo" as seen in Sailor Moon R.



Character Info
--------------
Character names vary from the original Sailor Moon Japanese names to 
DIC's dubbed versions, and a few guessed-at English versions.  NEW in 
this series, however, Sailor Neptune and Uranus will keep their 
original Japanese names.  Most of the others shall remain the same as 
the AR series, though.

Miharu is a character from Sailor Moon Super S, but will continue to be 
a big influence in the story.  Dave Reinquest and other Omega Web 
characters will be making a comeback and you can bet a few of the older 
favorites will be around.


Author and Contact Info

Although I plan to post the series in a number of places on the World 
Wide Web, there is my official homepage, named Crystal Canada.  It will 
always be updated right away, and holds most of my work N stuff, and 
will soon be expanding to have some Ranma 1/2 and X-Files fan-fiction.  A 
text version is available, so don't worry, anyone with a slow net 
connection should be able to get on okay.
